A compact one-bedroom first-floor flat offering 335 sq ft in a Victorian corner building, presented with genuine refurbishment potential. The flat is sold with no onward chain and sits within easy walking distance of Norwood Junction station, providing fast links into central London and Gatwick; local shops, cafés and community amenities are also very close by.
This property will suit a first-time buyer or investor comfortable with a project: internal condition is basic and cosmetic work is required, including bathroom and general redecoration. There is no private outdoor space and the apartment’s small footprint means living areas are limited. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators, and windows are double glazed (install date unknown).
Important practical notes: the lease has approximately 78 years remaining — short enough that some mortgage lenders may refuse finance, and lease extension costs should be factored into any purchase. The building shows external wear and damp marks in places, and the wider area records higher crime and marked deprivation; buyers should weigh these local factors against the excellent transport links and low asking price. Council tax is low and ground rent is modest at £150 per year.
